Summary:
Jaipur, in Rajasthan, is renowned for its palaces and museums, its craft traditions and its distinctive pink shops and houses. A planned city within walls, it was built in pre-modern times according to a distinctive Indian theory of architecture known as vastu vidya. As architecture subsequently developed in India, in response to British and latterly post-colonial policies, this system became increasingly marginalized and fragmented, decreasingly practised and understood. Taking Jaipur as a test case, the authors use this lost tradition to explain historic Indian buildings according to the rationale of their original architects. The authors also examine the place of traditional architectural theory in a modern context – Post-Modern architecture in India has often sought to recapture a spirit of the past, and yet been reluctant to engage with traditional theory. By chronicling the gradual eclipse of Indian architectural theory, the authors explain how this reluctance arose; they also describe the need and the terms for a fresh engagement with it. The result is an architectural biography of a city, and a concise history of Indian architectural theory over the last 300 years.

Another Reason is a bold and innovative study of the intimate relationship between science, colonialism, and the modern nation. Gyan Prakash, one of the most influential historians of India writing today, explores in fresh and unexpected ways the complexities, contradictions, and profound importance of this relationship in the history of the subcontinent. He reveals how science served simultaneously as an instrument of empire and as a symbol of liberty, progress, and universal reason--and how, in playing these dramatically different roles, it was crucial to the emergence of the modern nation.

Summary:
"India by Design : colonial history and cultural display" maps for the first time a series of historical events - from the Raj in the mid-nineteenth century up to the present day - through which India was made fashionable to Western audiences within the popular cultural arenas of the imperial metropole. Situated at the convergence of discussions in anthropology, art history, museum studies, and postcolonial criticism, this dynamic study investigates with vivid historical detail how Indian objects, bodies, images, and narratives circulated through metropolitan space and acquired meaning in an emergent nineteenth-century consumer economy. Through an examination of India as represented in department stores, museums, exhibitions, painting, and picture postcards of the era, the book carefully confronts the problems and politics of postcolonial display and offers an original and provocative account of the implications of colonial practices for visual production in our contemporary world.

Dernière des religions révélées, l'Islam, né au VIIe siècle, suscite dès ses débuts une architecture impressionnante. A partir de la simple maison de Mahomet à Médine, cette foi nouvelle s'exprime dans un édifice nouveau : la mosquée, lieu du prosternement. Tant par ses espaces de prière que par ses palais et citadelles, l'art de bâtir du monde islamique, tout en empruntant aux civilisations conquises, s'affirme comme un courant esthétique majeur. Des formes inédites surgissent. Les architectes inventent la mosquée hypostyle, l'iwan, les stalactites, les mâchicoulis, le décor de faïence qui revêt coupoles et mihrab. C'est un langage sans cesse divers qui, partout, décline la même présence du décor, de l'arabesque, des motifs géométriques, des claustra, et surtout des textes sacrés. Henri Stierlin, historien de l'architecture, décrit et explique les mille et une formes des bâtiments musulmans, en soulignant les constantes et les infinies variations d'un art animé, durant plus de dix siècles, par un élan et par un souffle grandioses.
